The Upper Bound of Event Horizon Formation Time in Generalized Oppenheimer-Snyder Collapse

preprint2025arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove that, in the framework of the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse, the Schwarzschild exterior maximizes the event horizon formation time ΔTeh=196mΔT_{\text{eh}}=\frac{19}{6}m among all asymptotically flat, static, spherically-symmetric black holes with the same ADM mass mm that satisfy the weak energy condition. This bound extends the typical black hole inequalities--such as the Penrose inequality, which constrains spatial geometry--to temporal setting.
